Congressman Urges Greater Use of Extension Agents
South Dakota Congressman Ben Reifel told about 1800 at the 52nd National Association of County Agricultural Agents meeting in Omaha that county agents know local problems and should be used to aid rural areas and foreign aid. He cited a survey showing 40 percent of Extension clients are low income and praised agents’ work on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Reifel urged exporting expertise rather than dollars to underdeveloped countries, noted federal procurement spends heavily on New York and California, and supported new economic development proposals including tax concessions for industry in distressed areas and a commission for balanced growth. He lauded the Cooperative Extension Service and cited the Oahe Irrigation Project as a model.
